EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1964, capturing a moment in time at The Plaza Cinema, located at 71 Kingsway in Swansea, South Wales. Known as the largest cinema in all of Wales, this iconic establishment has recently been sold by Pictor (or Picton) Cinema Company to the renowned Rank Organisation for an impressive sum exceeding £100,000. In this snapshot from September 2nd, we are transported to an era where movie magic reigned supreme. The Plaza Cinema proudly showcases its grandeur with its art deco architecture and a marquee displaying two films currently playing: "The Beauty Jungle" and "What A Way To Go" featuring the talented Shirley MacClaine. As we gaze upon this image, it's impossible not to feel a sense of nostalgia for the golden age of cinema. The picture also offers glimpses into daily life during that period. A Ford Anglia parked outside adds a touch of vintage charm while reminding us of the prevalent car models at that time. This photograph is truly a portal into history - evoking memories and stories from those who frequented this beloved Welsh cinema. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints and sourced from Western Mail Archive, this remarkable piece captures not only a physical location but also emotions associated with entertainment and film culture.
